Tullow strikes out at Tano appraisal



By Upstream staff 

UK and Ireland-listed Tullow Oil has plugged and abandoned the 1N-3X appraisal well in the shallow-water Tano Block off Ghana after testing indicated a lack of commercial hydrocarbons.

The well was drilled to a total depth of 3075 metres, with logging results suggesting that the sandstones would not flow at commercial rates.

Future operations in shallow-water Tano will continue to focus on further appraisal of existing discoveries and delineation of exploration prospects in this block, Tullow said.

Tullow (31.5%) is operator of the shallow-water Tano Block with a 31.5% share. Its partners are Interoil (31.5%), Al Thani (22.5%), Sabre Oil and Gas (4.5% carried) and GNPC (10% carried).

Tullow is also operator of the deep-water Tano licence with a 49.95% workin interest.
